Beautiful Zen inspired wedding

I had the pleasure of helping Tommie and Greg with their Zen inspired wedding.   Their ceremony took place at the Japanese gardens at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens while their reception took place at a private home.  Tommie was a breathtakingly gorgeous bride as well as one of the sweetest people I have met.   Divine Images took so many amazing photos that I had a really hard time choosing which ones to use.

See more great photos of this wedding. 

Some of the wonderful elements incorporated at the ceremony included parasols for the bride and bridesmaids and a butterfly release at the end of the ceremony. 

Instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed small rocks that were placed into a Japanese meditation garden.  

The reception took place at a home decorated in the same Japanese feel. There were hanging Japanese lanterns, and vases with orchids throughout.   The Chef and I prepared delicious food throughout the evening.
